Hatch 22 by Erwan Heussaff | Restaurant Review

posted on Wednesday, March 19, 2014

My sister met up with her friends from Ateneo in Power Plant Mall,
Rockwell last Saturday. I was not really planning to go but she asked me
if I could drive her and I said yes. Since we were already there, I
might as well try Erwan Heussaff's Hatch 22 Cafe & Bakery.

After buying an extra charger for her new
iPhone 5S, we went straight to Hatch 22 for an afternoon snack. The cafe
was filled with diners even though it was way past lunch time, a nice
indication of good things to come.

I think we waited
for a good 15 minutes or so, we were on the verge of walking out to find
another restaurant when we were called. I was hoping to be seated on
the couch but was given a table near the bar and bakeshop instead. From
where we were seated, #babyMartinez was able to roam around freely
without disturbing others who were very busy eating Hatch 22's various
items on the menu.

I want to order French Onion Soup but it
was out of stock and I didn't want to order the other two that were on
the menu- Tomato and Chickpea Soup and What'Sup Doc. Soup is priced at
PhP 185/each.

Fried Chicken Asian Salad PhP 340

The Pink Panda House Dressing was the
deciding factor in choosing what salad to order. I was wrong, I thought
it was sweet and tangy, it was not. The good news is, you can eat the
salad even without the dressing. The chicken and wontons were crispy and
the greens were fresh. We love the cherry tomatoes, almonds and the
mandarin oranges too.

The
size of the patty was tiny, it can fit the palm of my hand. They should
have combined two patties instead of splitting it into two, it would be
better for visual presentation. The pungent smell of the Smoked Bacon
was so empowering that I mistook it for uncooked meat.

Double Fried Fried that went with Hatch Signature Burger

mom ordered a cup of Matutum PhP 120

I can't imagine I could eat all that bread
in one seating but I did lol It was a nice experience, I plan to check
out Erwan Heussaff's new restaurant, The Pink Panda Southeast Asian
Diner next. Incidentally, Hatch 22 is open for breakfast as early as
7am.
